Does anyone know whats up with the release of Gorguts new album? I feel like I read something in February or March stating that the album was almost done, just lyrics and vocals left.

Since then they cancelled a European tour and have kept quite. This is the only release I can muster any excitement for this year (cos we're def not getting new Pig Destroyer...) so, as you can assume, I'm dying for info!

I had the chance to talk to John Longstreth for a little bit after the Origin show in Merriam, and I asked him what it was like to work with Luc. He said it was a great time and he had a lot of fun, and that Luc is like a "little 12 year old excited to do everything and loves every second of it." I asked him something along the lines of 'so the album got delayed,' he nodded his head yes and I asked why. He replied with "record labels suck." When I asked him if he was going to tour with him he said he'd love to, but Origin always comes first.

Was anyone else at Maryland Deathfest last year? Half of Gorguts' setlist was new material off of this unreleased album. Personaly, if the album fallows what they played live, this will be one fucking awesome record. I cant wait. Only thing is he didnt sing over the new songs but Im sure his voice will be same as always.

I was there and yes, the new stuff fucking ruled. I have no doubts about how awesome this record will be. I've been loving this year in music but I'm still waiting for Gorguts to return and blow everyone the fuck off the map with something monumental.

I think it'll be a really good album and I'm anticipating it with great glee. It's unfortunate that it was delayed but at least it's going to be happening, and it's nearly 2012 now, so there's really not that long to go.

I was actually thinking of this today as to what's happening with Gorguts, because I hadn't heard much from them. Good to know things are progressing nicely despite label gayness.

I talked with Luc at the Death To All show here in Chicago, and he said that they've got things pretty well hammered out, they just need to land some finishing touches and cement the deal with the label (which indicates that previous label efforts have fallen through). He wouldn't say which label it was, but, you know, legal bullshit. So hopefully it'll be out this fall or early next year. But it is coming! He did promise that!

I'm not sure how excited I am now that the new album is going to have influences from Porcupine Tree and Opeth. Åkerfeldt wrote some very good riffs in the early days, but I gathered that Lemay referred to the progressive elements of these bands more than melody and riffing. I have hard time imagining what a combination of Lemay's signature riffing style and proggy melodic style would sound like.

I read in a French interview it's been pushed back to next year. It's on Gorguts' facebook.

Really? Damn. A new Gorguts would be pretty interesting. Any streams of the new material out there?

You do realize this is an old thread and triggerhappy's post was in August of last year? So he meant that it was being pushed back to this year, 2012. But I guess that doesn't matter anyway cause it looks like it probably won't be until 2013

Well, no I didn't notice that. Hopefully this won't turn out like Wintersun's "Time."

Thanks for the links, Deathstalker.
